It is interesting to look at Samsung, as the South Korean company was at the epicentre of a crisis that is still affecting it, albeit for different reasons. Samsung decided to swallow its pride and go all-in with Qualcomm for the Galaxy S23 series, after years of complaining about the discrepancy between Exynos and Snapdragon. This could change with the Galaxy S24 series, where there are increasing reports that the Exynos saga will return.
Let’s move on to the benchmarks, starting with the Samsung Galaxy S22 series and its Exynos 2200 processor. They scored an average GeekBench score of 1,100/3,700 in the single-core and multi-core tests. They were followed by the S23 series and its Snapdragon 8 Gen3 processor, of which the scores scores rise to 1,500/5,000. Next up is the Exynos 2400, of which the upgraded CPU allows it to rise to an average of 1.530/6.210 with peaks of 1.711/6.967.

The best we can do is compare the results with Qualcomm’s current top-of-the-range AP, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 hasn’t even been released yet. The Exynos 2400 is 31% faster than Qualcomm’s processor, which scored 1604 on GeekBench for single-core performance and 5311 for multi-core performance. The Exynos 2400 was beaten by the Apple A16 Bionic with a single-core score of 1871, but trailed with a multi-core score of 5344.

We don’t know how hot the Exynos 2400 chipset got, which is one piece of information. However, we do know that the SoC is built on Samsung Foundry’s improved 4nm LPP+ manufacturing node, which could help improve performance and efficiency.
Before we get carried away, the Exynos 2400 will really have to compete with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 to see if Samsung can save some money and boost the Galaxy S24 series’ specs. A comparison with Apple’s forthcoming A17 Bionic is just for show, and given that it will be manufactured by TSMC using their 3nm production node, the Exynos 2400 won’t be as advantageous for Samsung as the A16 Bionic was.
